My Comment: Aside from the photo-ops, their latest claim takes the cake .... N. Korea could take South in 3 days, latest video claims.

These propaganda videos are quite dangerous, not to us, but what they are trying to accomplish. Stirring up their people and gearing them up to believe a confrontation with the South/US is inevitable will set a dangerous precedent that could stay in the minds of future North Korean generations as it is present.
To us, they are unbelievably cheesy, overly ambitious and just plain silly .. To the North Koreans, they represent an ideal future for them. My fear is that these videos have a purpose: to get the North Koreans mentally ready for a confrontation and to breed hatred into the minds of its people.
The North Koreans are doing what the Soviets use to do .... but amplified through modern media. The danger that this may get out of hand is real .... and I would be definitely worried if I was living in South Korea.
Hey.. that looks like a tool box at work.. the maintenance guys plug them into converter boxes and check their email at lunch..
